Ah the LaRouchers. They're out quite often near my workplace, always fun to try to avoid.

I hear she was really trailing in the polls until Morrissey started campaigning for her.

This is great! A few things that caught my eye:
*LaRouche Democrat? BWAHAHAHA. That's great! *I guess it's about time the Dems started trying to catch up with the GOP in the nutball arms race *I gotta ask: how many who voted for her are conservatives who registered as Dems to screw with people? *I'm also going to guess I'm not going going out on a limb guessing that this is one of those districts where there's a snowball's chance in hell of a Dem win: the type that goes 80-20 every election. SI

The really sad part is that if you drop the British empire stuff, that’s pretty much the campaign that Perry ran against Hutchinson.

I agree strongly with the space program funding... and I imagine in the Houston area that has some strong support. Emphasize that part of the campaign and its not hard to see where you could get a motivated niche to win you a primary.

I think, but am not certain, that is Tom DeLay's old district.

Good eye. Went Dem in '06, went back GOP in '08 by a 53-42 margin. Didn't realize, until Wiki'ing, that DeLay's old district was also the first district that Ron Paul served from, first in a special election in '76, then losing the seat in '78 before winning it back in '80.

It is Tom Delay's old seat, which was held for one term by Democrat Nick Lampson. In 2008, the GOP won it back. If the Dems couldn't hold it in 08, there was no chance to take it back this year.
